In this role, the selected candidate will ensure total asset visibility for Government Furnished Property (GFP), oversee shipping and receiving logistics, manage COMSEC documentation, and develop provisioning strategies for spares and consumables. Key responsibilities include acting as the focal point for logistics support, maintaining inventory accuracy, and contributing to the development of training materials and technical reports. This position plays a critical role in supporting mission readiness by providing proactive customer support, ensuring compliance with military instructions and industry standards, and delivering key program deliverables. This position is contingent upon contract award, with hybrid in-office in Arlington, VA and remote work available.

     

    Key duties include logistics management, ensuring the effective packing, handling, storage, and transportation (PHS&T) of resources aligned with military standards, and maintaining accurate GFP inventory throughout the life of the contract. On the COMSEC management side, the candidate will serve as the Controlling Authority for Keying Material (KEYMAT), ensuring compliance with Air Force instructions like AFMAN 17-1302-O, safeguarding systems against electrostatic discharge, and managing detailed COMSEC documentation. The role also involves supply chain management, including developing provisioning plans based on operational data and updating spare part inventories to align with design evolutions and mission needs. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented professional with leadership capabilities, technical expertise, and a commitment to ensuring mission-critical compliance and operational excellence.

    Qualifications

    US Citizenship and an active secret clearance, with the ability to obtain a TS/SCI.

     

    The ideal candidate will hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Logistics, Quality Assurance, Supply Chain Management, or a related discipline, or possess equivalent relevant experience. Candidates must have experience managing Government Furnished Property (GFP) and working within military logistics frameworks.
